Picked All My Parts, Need Experts Approval!!

[idjlee96]

Okay, so I was planning on dishing out near 1500 for this build.

I did however add a monitor (going to run a dual monitor setup)
and upgrade a few things (i5 to i7 for HT since I will be doing a lot of video editing and rendering)
Anyway, I would just like to have Experts final opinions and suggestions.
And would like to know if everything will be compatible and work well with each other.

Anyway, here I go!

perhaps 2 of those instead of the HDDs you have listed?

also, I would go with the HX PSU

great build all in all, none of the changes I suggested are critical

 

[idjlee96]

Thanks for the feedback. Is there a big difference between the two psu? because the one I was planning on getting is $50 cheaper.

If your going to purchase from a retailer for a Canadian build...forget newegg canada. Direct Canada and Best Direct beat their prices most of the time, and they do Free Shipping. Newegg Canada is a total hose job. Those two retailers (Direct Canada and Best Direct) are affiliated....they both use the same address in BC.

WOW!! Sir, you have just saved me like $200
Thanks man!!

I just hope that the service and delivery speeds are as good.

Do you know if like the warranties would differ between the two retailers??

Also, would love to have your feedback on my build.

Thanks again man.

Warranty's are the same with both of those retailers. Peeps on here have had good luck with them and they seem to be the hot item now seeing how NCIX is still hosing peeps on prices, and newegg canada charges an arm and a leg for shipping.

If I was going to make any changes on that build of yours...well I might do something like this....

If you don't plan on any hard core cpu over clocking ...like 4.8+ghz then I would see about this board down here. It's new on the market and it's a hot item atm...for price point and practicality. This board supports SLI/Crossfire, dual bios, etc....

http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=16950BD9488&vpn=GA-P67X-UD3-B3&manufacture=Others $153.19

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3815#ov <---- that's the board there

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128488 <---- and that's the board on newegg with more pics, reviews, etc...

That Corsair psu you chose is manufactured by Seasonic, as is this XFX down below.

XFX 750W PRO750W Core Edition Single Rail ATX 12V 62A 24PIN ATX Power Supply 80PLUS Bronze

Cases are a personal thing...but if your looking for a bit more room than that Antec 900 provides...well then this CM HAF 922 is worth taking a look at imo...

http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11130AC5964&vpn=RC-922M-KKN1-GP&manufacture=COOLERMASTER $79.69
Coolermaster Haf 922 Mid Tower ATX Case Black 5X5.25 5X3.5INT Front Audio USB eSATA No PSU

For RAM...these G.Skill Ripjaws have lower heat sinks than that Corsair Vengeance so less chance of getting in the way of that CM 212+ cpu h/s.

http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=15380BD5211&vpn=F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL&manufacture=G.SKILL $81.95

^ Excellent build Why me. Idjlee, this is the guy I recommended you get help from in the other post. He's the canadian pro lol.
The one thing I will say is, get a reference design 2GB 6950. Most people (~90%) are able to unlock them to 6970's, which give much greater performance. That Twin Frozr III is a good card, but does not have the dual bios switch which is so useful (may be necessary) to unlocking.
Other than that, make the changes suggested by Why me and you should be good!
